Answer:

Mass if the amount of matter in something, while weight is gravity acting on mass.

Explanation:

Mass is the simple measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force exerted by the object on the area beneath it as a result of gravity or another attractive force.

Answer:

There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth, moon, etc.

The equilibrium constant Kc for the reaction PCl3(g) + Cl2(g) ⇌ PCl5(g) is 49 at 230°C. If 0.70 mol of PCl3 is added to 0.70 mol

Ymorist [56]

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 0.11 M

Solution :

First we have to calculate the concentration $PCl_3$ and $Cl_2$ .

$\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{\text{Moles of }PCl_3}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

$\text{Concentration of }PCl_3=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }Cl_2}{\text{Volume of solution}}$

$\text{Concentration of }Cl_2=\frac{0.70moles}{1.0L}=0.70M$

The given equilibrium reaction is,

$PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)$

Initially 0.70 0.70 0

At equilibrium (0.70-x) (0.70-x) x

The expression of $K_c$ will be,

$K_c=\frac{[PCl_5]}{[PCl_3][Cl_2]}$

$K_c=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}$

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

$49=\frac{(x)}{(0.70-x)\times (0.70-x)}$

By solving the term x, we get

$x=0.59\text{ and }0.83$

From the values of 'x' we conclude that, x = 0.83 can not more than initial concentration. So, the value of 'x' which is equal to 0.83 is not consider.

Thus, the concentration of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of $Cl_2$ at equilibrium = (0.70-x) = (0.70-0.59) = 0.11 M

The concentration of $PCl_5$ at equilibrium = x = 0.59 M

Therefore, the concentration of $PCl_3$ at equilibrium is 0.11 M
